NECTAR Program: France’s 1st Plantathlon in Roullens
On January 10th and 11th, Nectar & Co, in partnership with Forêtvert Forever, Les Imaginaires en Transition, and students from the BTS "Rural Territory Development and Animation" (DATR) program at La Raque Higher School, will organize a major event in Roullens: the 1st Plantathlon in France!
Within the 89 hectares of olive groves, 80,000 young shoots, and 15 different varieties at the Domaine de Baudrigue, the goal will be to plant three kilometers of hedges and raise awareness among the 200 expected participants about climate change and agroecology.
The event will feature conferences with Serge Zaka, Iris-Amata Dion, Alain Canet, and Lionel Giraud, who will engage with a wide audience (businesses, students, and the general public). Various topics will be covered on Friday, January 10th, and Saturday, January 11th:
• The impacts of climate change on agriculture and the landscapes of Aude
• The reality of the future climate
• Why must we act?
• From the land to the plate – How and why respecting the environment must enter our diets
